“Midway Becoming a Railway Centre”  From:The Province, August 8, 1905

“…Jas. Dallas has about completed his hotel, and yesterday the foundation was laid for another commodious hostelry for L.A. Manly, formerly of Grand Forks. Wellwood & McPherson are fitting up a building on Seventh Street for a similar purpose.

The Eholt Trading Company has opened a general store and several sites have been sold to outside parties who, as soon as building can be erected, will engage in the same business…

Black Bros. who recently purchased the Oakland Hotel, are putting up an addition. G.D. Cunningham has let the contract for a large store building on Fifth Street; and the Thomas Drug Co. Ltd. Which has been in business for a long time here, is contemplating building a new store to accommodate its increased stock.

G.A. Evans of Grand Forks, with enterprising zeal, has brought in a newspaper plant, and will today issue the first number of the Midway Star.

J.F. Roger, the hustling stage man, is running stages between here and Phoenix and on to the Similkameen, and will in a few days have a line between here and Curlew.”
